Plot Summary

The long awaited sequel to Yossi and Jagger, the tragic love story of two IDF officers serving in Lebanon. Dr. Yossi Hoffman has become a valued and dedicated cardiologist, often using his work as a way to escape from dealing with his anguished life. He lives alone, still closeted, unable to break through the walls and defenses built around him since the death of his lover. His daily routine at the hospital is shaken up by the arrival of a mysterious woman. He follows her, and through the surprising connection they make, receives a rare opportunity to deal with his trauma. Yossi then travels to the southern city of Eilat. Surrounded by the sea and sand dunes he meets a group of young Israeli IDF officers, among them Tom, a handsome and self confident openly gay man, who represents a new world, different from the one that shaped Yossi.

Fresh: "Yossi" tells the beautifully acted but overly sentimental story of a man's emotional rebirth in a more sexually liberated era. It is also a pointed portrayal of the revolution in social attitudes inside the most liberal and secularized of Israeli cities. – Stephen Holden, New York Times, Jan 24, 2013

Oh Yossi...

Pure and simple…loved it. A little predictable perhaps but still a lot of heart in this movie. I understand the sort of grief that the character Yossi has been living with and how hesitant he is to love again even though that is all he wants, love. Sigh...
